"I also don't know that you sinned against your children. Did you try to teach them your beliefs?"
"I think so. I told them stories every night. Not all true stories, but I tried to tell them which ones were true and which ones weren't."
"Is there anything you hope to do differently with your younger children?"
"With the youngest two. Unless Elizabeth sends me back, I suppose. I wanted her to bring the older ones, too, but - Hagan and his friends thought it would be better if they could get the Emperor to agree to it."
"I don't know. If they could manage it, probably.
"I'm sure people here are trying very hard to help, but - I wish we'd never come here, sometimes. I know if someone can stop the Emperor that'll be better, so maybe it's a horrible wish, but - Rana would be with me, wouldn't have been hurt by any of this, or by my selfishness in wanting to stay, and eventually I'd have the children back, and - "

Nodnod.
"Can't very well leave them where they are. I suppose it might be better to marry someone else, but... I don't want to."
"Okay. For your penance, I would like you to ask Elizabeth for a Bible, and read to your children from it."
"I am sorry for my sins, and repent of them, and I ask to be made worthy of approaching the Lord's table."
“God, the Father of mercies, through the death and resurrection of his Son has reconciled the world to himself and sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins; through the ministry of the Church may God give you pardon and peace, and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
